00:00:18And, uh, thank you for staying late to help me with the inventory.
00:00:21Always a pleasure, Mr. Calderon.
00:00:23Shall we come in early tomorrow afternoon to finish it?
00:00:26No, just be here at the regular time.
00:00:29And enjoy the day with your families.
00:00:31Good night.
00:00:32Good night, Mr. Calderon.
00:00:33Good night.
00:00:37Good night, sir.
00:00:39Good night, Maria.
00:00:40And thanks for staying to help us.
00:00:42You're welcome, sir.
00:00:45Maria, I know it's a beautiful night, but I'm responsible for all of you girls who work here at the
00:00:49club.
00:00:50I feel better if you stayed a few minutes and let me drive you home.
00:00:53You're very thoughtful, but I know the section, and, uh, as you say, it's a beautiful night.
00:01:00Very well.
00:01:01But please, be careful.
00:01:02I will.
00:01:03Good night, Maria.
00:01:04I'll see you tomorrow.
00:01:05Good night, Mr. Calderon, and thank you.
00:01:20Good night, Mr. Calderon.
00:01:48Good night, Mr. Calderon.
00:02:19Good night, Mr. Calderon.
00:02:42Oh, my God.
00:03:15Cuts on both of her arms, exactly like the others.
00:03:20Get her down.
00:03:23What will you do now, Inspector Ramos?
00:03:25Do you know the name of Adam Rourke?
00:03:28Every detective in the world has read his book on sex crime, motivation and investigation.
00:03:34And he is my personal friend.
00:03:36I'm sending a cable to New York tonight.
00:04:21I'm glad to see you, Adam. Welcome to Manila.
00:04:24Miguel, it's nice seeing you here.
00:04:26You know, it's been four years.
00:04:27And from the looks of your face, I'd swear you haven't aged more than ten.
00:04:32What's up, Paré?
00:04:34Let me take this.
00:04:35No, no, come on. What's up?
00:04:37You're American directness. You don't even permit me the courtesies of greeting.
00:04:42Listen, I know a chief inspector of homicide doesn't send plane tickets to their friends
00:04:47just so they can fly in and sit by the ocean and watch colorful bonkers driven by, right?
00:04:52Besides, I got to know that particular look pretty well on your last trip to New York.
00:04:55What's up?
00:04:57All right, my friend.
00:04:58I'll tell you on the way home and I'll tell you some more when we get there.
00:05:02My car is there. Let's go.
00:05:04Okay.
00:05:07All exactly the same.
00:05:11All neat, all deep.
00:05:13All precisely ten centimeters long.
00:05:17Not a fraction, more or less.
00:05:19On the inside of both forearms of every single victim.
00:05:23Very calculated and very professional.
00:05:26And every victim a young, attractive girl.
00:05:28No deviation?
00:05:30None.
00:05:31Are you absolutely sure each victim was completely drained of blood?
00:05:35Except for fractional amounts in the hands and head?
00:05:42No, Adam.
00:05:44It could not have been done with anything like that.
00:05:47Decisions are too thin, too neat.
00:05:51We have talked to every friend, every family.
00:05:54Anyone who could help us find any kind of link,
00:05:57any kind of pattern that could tie the victims together.
00:06:00Do you know what we found?
00:06:02No.
00:06:03There's no connection.
00:06:04And Adam, it has to be only one man.
00:06:09No two persons can kill so many people
00:06:12exactly the same way each time.
00:06:16Except for one thing.
00:06:18What's that?
00:06:20What if the killer were Siamese twins?
00:06:25Since you're supposedly here to help my brother, Mr. Rourke,
00:06:28it might be better if you remembered the pressures on him
00:06:31instead of making jokes.
00:06:32I'm glad you're here.
00:06:34Adam, I want you to meet my sister, Sylvia.
00:06:36How do you do, Sylvia?
00:06:39I'm sorry if that last remark created the wrong impression.
00:06:42No apology is necessary, Mr. Rourke.
00:06:44But it might help if you remember that you are in a country
00:06:47whose customs and attitudes are not your own.
00:06:50Sylvia, Adam is an experienced lieutenant of homicide himself.
00:06:55And he is also my friend.
00:06:57Do I make myself clear?
00:06:59Quite clear, Miguel.
00:07:01Now, what is it you wanted?
00:07:03To pour myself a drink.
00:07:05But if I'm disturbing...
00:07:06No, no, no.
00:07:07You know all about this.
00:07:08Go ahead.
00:07:09Is there anything I can get for you, Miguel?
00:07:12A rum and calamansi, please.
00:07:15And, um, for our guest?
00:07:18The same if you'd be so kind.
00:07:23Late yesterday, one of my men raised the fact that Maria Cortes
00:07:28was working as a hostess at the Barrio Club here in the city.
00:07:32Have you done a follow-up over there yet?
00:07:35No, frankly, I wanted to talk to you first.
00:07:38I'm glad you did.
00:07:40That gives me an idea, Miguel.
00:07:43You don't have any Americans working on the forest, right?
00:07:47Therefore, the possibilities of somebody spotting me for a cop are pretty thin.
00:07:52Secondly, I'm a stranger here.
00:07:54So there's no chance of running into any previous acquaintances.
00:08:00Miguel, this is probably the best setup you've ever had for putting in a plant.
00:08:04Now, let me function as an undercover man.
00:08:06I can pass for a tourist.
00:08:07I'll even wear colorful sports shirts and carry two cameras, if you like.
00:08:11What do you say?
00:08:13No, Adam, no.
00:08:17Thank you, Sylvia.
00:08:24We don't know why he drains the blood from his victims.
00:08:27We can only assume that there's some peculiar twist in a sick mind.
00:08:32Do you think there'll be other killings of the club?
00:08:35Not necessarily.
00:08:37Of course, you don't have enough men to warn, much less protect every attractive girl in town.
00:08:41And if our killer even suspected we were trying, he'd pick up and move to a new area, a new
00:08:46city.
00:08:48Then it would be harder to look for him.
00:08:50And in the meantime, there will be more killings.
00:08:53Right.
00:08:55I'll do some digging on my own about this last girl.
00:08:58Maybe it'll help speed things up for you.
00:09:01No heroics now.
00:09:03No foolish chances.
00:09:05Just information.
00:09:06All right?
00:09:07Then there should be no connection between the two of us for a few days.
00:09:13Anyway, I'll provide you with a contact man.
00:09:17Good.
00:09:19Adam, there is another possibility I would like you to know.
00:09:24There are many sophisticated people among us, but there are many more who are not.
00:09:30There have been some rumors in the villages about a strange blood cult.
00:09:36Voodoo and the like.
00:09:38And since none of the victim's blood had ever been found on the scenes of the murders,
00:09:44people have begun to think and suspect that it had been taken for some fiendish purpose.
00:09:51Really?
00:09:53I know, I know.
00:09:55But anyway, I would like you to think about it.
00:09:58I'll do better than that.
00:09:59First thing tomorrow morning, I'll go down to the main library.
00:10:02And I'll read up on Count Dracula and the medieval witches.
00:10:07My brother is trying to help you.
00:10:09And I'll remember what he said, Sylvia.
00:10:11Don't move.
00:10:12There, at the base of your neck, two small holes.
00:10:15Yes, fang marks.
00:10:18Sylvia, I think that...
00:10:20And I think that only a complete fool would ignore all the possibilities that might apply.
00:10:25Even the occult.
00:10:26Regardless, I would like you to bring Adam into town.
00:10:29No, thanks, Miguel.
00:10:30I'll call the cab.
00:10:31If there is to be no connection between us, there should be no connection at all.
00:10:36Not even a cab driver.
00:10:37Miguel, I prefer if...
00:10:39And I would prefer that you help us in this matter.
00:10:43Since you have just returned after two years of studies in London,
00:10:47no one will recognize you at this hour.
00:10:56The Luzon Hotel is very clean.
00:10:58I'm sure you'll get a room there.
00:11:00My man will contact you tomorrow.
00:11:03Adam, here is additional material that I've prepared for you.
00:11:07Thank you for your hospitality and the spirited conversation.
00:11:11My sister Sylvia is very headstrong.
00:11:13But she means sweat.
00:11:15I hope you two get along well together.
00:11:17Miguel, I didn't know you had a sister.
00:11:20In here, yes.
00:11:21Her father was connected with an English firm here in Manila before the war.
00:11:26During the occupation, he joined as a guerrilla.
00:11:29He was very brave, but very unlucky.
00:11:32And her mother?
00:11:33Her mother died a few years back.
00:11:36So your family adopted her?
00:11:41I just ran out of languages.
00:11:47Okay, Harvey boy, let's go.
00:11:49Harvey?
00:11:50Yes, Harvey.
00:11:50I always take him with me whenever I'm working.
00:11:52Oh, by the way, who runs the barrio club?
00:11:55His name is Calderon.
00:11:57Uh-huh.
00:12:02Thanks.
00:12:03The hotel is two blocks back on the other side of the street.
00:12:06I hope you'll forgive me for that little joke I made back at the house.
00:12:09Oh, was that a joke?
00:12:12I see.
00:12:13Well, I guess there isn't too much more to say except good night.
00:12:17Except one thing.
00:12:19Yes?
00:12:20Right now, my brother needs the help of people who can equal his dedication.
00:12:24Not that of...
00:12:25Of wisecracking skeptics who ignore the possibility of the alcohol.
00:12:29All right.
00:12:29I'm just surprised that you believe in such things.
00:12:33Do you have all the answers to light, Mr. Rourke?
00:12:36Not the last time I checked, no.
00:12:38Well, then it might surprise you to find out that there are still some mysteries
00:12:43that science and policemen seem unable to answer.
00:12:46Good night, Mr. Rourke.
00:12:47I came here to help Miguel, and I intend to do it.
00:12:51Because you're his sister, it would make things a lot more pleasant
00:12:54if I had your friendship, too.
00:12:56But I don't need it.
00:12:57Now, in the interest of friendship, I'll make a simple bargain with him.
00:13:01I won't form any final opinions in this case till all the facts are in,
00:13:05if you do the same with me.
00:13:07Okay?
00:13:09All right.
00:13:10Now, if you promise not to tell us so,
00:13:13I'll let you in our one conclusion I've made already.
00:13:16Really? What?
00:13:17Regardless of how it turns out,
00:13:19you must admit that someone has come up with a novel idea for a blood bank.
00:13:24Why, you croot!
00:13:45Why, you croot!
00:13:47Why, you croot!
00:13:48Why, you croot!
00:13:49Why, you croot!
00:13:53Why, you croot!
00:13:56Why, you croot!
00:13:57Why, you croot!
00:13:58Why, you croot!
00:13:59Why, you croot!
00:14:00Why, you croot!
00:14:00Why, you croot!
00:14:00Why, you croot!
00:14:00Why, you croot!
00:14:01Why, you croot!
00:14:02Why, you croot!
00:14:02Why, you croot!
00:14:03Why, you croot!
00:14:06Why, you croot!
00:14:06Why, you croot!
00:14:12Why, you croot!
00:14:18Do you have a cigarette?
00:14:23Do you have a light?
00:14:25Yeah.
00:14:32I was just going to ask you something very personal,
00:14:34but you have that business-before-pleasure look in your eyes.
00:14:38Not really.
00:14:39Yes, really.
00:14:40You're very perceptive.
00:14:42Well, I'm not very subtle,
00:14:43but be sure to ask for me when that look changes.
00:14:47My name is Teresa.
00:15:00Good evening, sir.
00:15:02What would you like?
00:15:03Whatever you make, Beth.
00:15:05Very difficult.
00:15:16Here is my drink.
00:15:16The best round.
00:15:17The best way.
00:15:19And no charge for any visitor's first drink.
00:15:22Your eyes are as sharp as your drinks, huh?
00:15:25A part of my job party.
00:15:27Oh, excuse me.
00:15:29Yes?
00:15:29Yes. Maybe you can help.
00:15:32This club is run by Mr. Calderon, isn't it?
00:15:35Yes. Where can I find him?
00:15:38Why?
00:15:39I want to talk to her.
00:15:48You're a good man.
00:15:50I'm a stranger.
00:15:51And right away you spotted the fact that I'm here to rob Mr. Calderon.
00:15:54And maybe even kill him.
00:16:02Maybe you are all right, Pare.
00:16:05But I still won't tell you until you tell me.
00:16:07I'm a writer.
00:16:09Magazine articles in general and anything else I can get in particular.
00:16:13Now, I read the newspaper story about the murder of Maria Cortez.
00:16:18Yes.
00:16:20I would like to put my hands on the one who did that.
00:16:23Then you can help.
00:16:25And Calderon too.
00:16:28You will find his office at the top of the stairs back there.
00:16:31Thanks.
00:16:33But you must not.
00:16:34He is very sick about that.
00:16:43Now he shall let away until after Serena's dance.
00:16:46Yes.
00:17:01Yes.
00:17:02Yes.
00:17:03Yes.
00:17:04Yes.
00:17:05Yes.
00:17:07Yes.
00:17:07Yes.
00:17:08Yes.
00:17:08Yes.
00:17:08Yes.
00:17:08Yes.
00:17:08Yes.
00:17:09Yes.
00:17:10Yes.
00:17:10Yes.
00:17:10Yes.
00:17:11Yes.
00:17:12Yes.
00:17:13Yes.
00:17:14Yes.
00:19:41You were wonderful.
00:20:34This is a private office.
00:20:36Oh, I'm awfully sorry.
00:20:38I thought that was a door to a hallway.
00:20:40Get out of here.
00:20:41I'm looking for Mr. Calderon.
00:20:45I have some very important business with him.
00:20:47I'm Calderon.
00:20:48I have nothing to discuss with you now outside.
00:20:50No offense.
00:20:51I just made a clumsy mistake.
00:20:53Please accept my apologies.
00:20:54Get out.
00:20:56You must be awfully tired after that dance.
00:20:58But it was wonderful.
00:20:59Like I said before, ma'am.
00:21:01No offense.
00:21:02No offense.
00:21:03I'm leaving.
00:21:04Sorry.
00:21:06Well...
00:21:14When were you talking to him?
00:21:16On the stairs.
00:21:17On the stairs a moment ago.
00:21:18What did you tell him?
00:21:19I believe I said thank you.
00:21:21For what?
00:21:22For the compliment.
00:21:23He paid me on my dance.
00:21:26I'm sorry.
00:21:28It's just that...
00:21:29Just that everything makes me nervous ever since Maria went...
00:21:31I know.
00:21:33But don't you think you should go and talk to him?
00:21:36I'll be right back.
00:21:46I think Maria had more spirit and more laughter than anyone I ever knew.
00:21:50You met her at the club, right?
00:21:52Yes.
00:21:52How long had you known her?
00:21:54About two years.
00:21:55Now that she's gone?
00:21:57I don't know.
00:21:58Except that I miss her very much.
00:22:00And sometimes when I think of the way she was...
00:22:03Oh, good evening, Mr. Calderon.
00:22:04Good evening, Teresa.
00:22:05Oops.
00:22:06Now, don't worry.
00:22:07I was just leaving.
00:22:08Please.
00:22:09Are you all right, Teresa?
00:22:10Yes, Mr. Calderon.
00:22:12Are you sure?
00:22:13Would you like to go home early tonight?
00:22:15No, I'm fine, really.
00:22:16Good.
00:22:17Then would you excuse us, please?
00:22:18I want to have a word with this gentleman.
00:22:23May we talk?
00:22:25There are many problems to running a business like this.
00:22:30My nerves sometimes...
00:22:31Well, I'm afraid you startled me at such a moment in the office.
00:22:35It's my turn to apologize.
00:22:37My pleasure, Mr. Calderon.
00:22:39You know where I come from?
00:22:40Folks don't consider a man a man unless he knows how to make an apology.
00:22:44And accept one.
00:22:45That's a very good philosophy, Mr...
00:22:47Rourke.
00:22:48Adam Rourke.
00:22:50Moreno.
00:22:53Yes, Mr. Calderon.
00:22:54Whatever Mr. Rourke would like.
00:22:56And have it brought down to us, please.
00:22:58Another of your specials, Moreno.
00:23:00And what would you like?
00:23:02Nothing, thank you.
00:23:03Well, since you said it was an important business, I suggest a lot more privacy.
00:23:08There's nothing secret about it.
00:23:10At least you can sit in more comfort.
00:23:12Please.
00:23:13Whatever you say.
00:23:14Thank you very much.
00:23:45You know, it was pretty rude of me to just stand there blabbering away after I busted in your office
00:23:50and I saw you and that lady were having some kind of personal argument, but I...
00:23:55There I go again, sticking my clumsy nose in where it doesn't belong.
00:23:59You know, that's the trouble with all writers. They're just plain nosy.
00:24:02You must be a good writer because you're very perceptive.
00:24:05We were having an argument.
00:24:06I hope you got it all worked out.
00:24:08Just one of the usual conflicts between a headstrong performer and practical businessman.
00:24:12Mmm, but what a woman.
00:24:14While those people out there were reacting to her like a bunch of slaves,
00:24:18all hopped up on berry juice, coming to worship their high priestess.
00:24:21I know I'd buy a ticket just to walk down the street with her.
00:24:25Excuse me, was this for you, Mr. Calderon?
00:24:27For Mr. Rourke, Elena.
00:24:29Here you are, sir.
00:24:31How are your parents, Elena?
00:24:32Fine, thank you. They're visiting relatives in Zamboanga right now.
00:24:36Please give them my regards when they return.
00:24:38Thank you, I will.
00:24:40Nice meeting you, Mr. Rock.
00:24:46Boy, you sure got good taste in the women you hire.
00:24:49Mr. Rourke, it's very pleasant talking with you.
00:24:53But, well, I hope you appreciate that as owner of the club, I have many things to do.
00:24:59Just what was it you wanted to talk to me about?
00:25:02Well, like I told you, I'm a writer.
00:25:04I'm not a famous writer, but I've always been able to spot an interesting story
00:25:07and make a pretty good living in it.
00:25:10Do I understand that you want to do a story about the club?
00:25:13What I really had in mind was the girl, Maria Cortez.
00:25:19Mr. Rourke, I don't think I'd want to exploit you.
00:25:22Now, I know how you feel, and I admire you for it.
00:25:24But I'm not talking about a piece of cheap sensationalism.
00:25:28Human interest is what I'm after.
00:25:29Of course, I'm going to need some background details to make the story ring true,
00:25:33from yourself and other people who knew her.
00:25:34Mr. Calderon, this story can make the Barrio Club famous around the world.
00:25:39And you'll have full approval of everything I write before I send it in for publication.
00:25:46Now, what do you say?
00:25:48Are you from the police?
00:25:50That's very funny.
00:25:52I don't think so.
00:25:53Oh, you would if you know how I reacted to the sight of blood.
00:25:56But I'm sure they'll be around sooner or later.
00:25:59Aren't you?
00:26:01Probably.
00:26:02Yet, it seems strange that a tourist should interrupt his vacation for such an unpleasant manner.
00:26:06Mr. Calderon, a writer is a writer.
00:26:09He's always looking for an interesting story.
00:26:12I see.
00:26:13Now, if you agree, I can guarantee that the results will be very profitable for both of us.
00:26:18What do you say?
00:26:19Let me think about it.
00:26:21I'll try to contact you in the morning and give you my decision.
00:26:23Fine.
00:26:24Where are you staying?
00:26:25Luzon Hotel, room 12.
00:26:28I do admit it's an interesting idea.
00:26:29It's just that I have to reconcile my previous affections for Maria with such a concept.
00:26:34Good night, Mr. Rourke.
00:26:36Good night, sir.
00:26:39Good night, sir.
00:26:45Good night, sir.
00:26:46Good night, sir.
00:26:47Good night, sir.
00:28:11No, there couldn't be that much of a room shortage.
00:28:25Can I assume he worked alone?
00:28:37Sorry about that.
00:28:48Poor Harvey, the things you go through for me.
00:28:57Well, Harvey, old man, you've done it again.
00:29:01You don't know what this means to me.
00:29:03And one of these days, I promise you, I'm going to get you a complete paint job and an overhaul.
00:29:15Wait, Harvey, wait, wait, please.
00:29:17Be the less fortunate.
00:29:19I'm hungry, Harvey.
00:29:20I'm hungry.
00:29:22Oh, you're truly most glad.
00:29:24May you be happy.
00:29:32Are you all right?
00:29:33Fine.
00:29:34Fine.
00:29:34I'm sorry.
00:29:35I'm very sorry.
00:29:36I'm nothing but a close old fool.
00:29:37Don't worry about it.
00:29:38Please forgive me.
00:29:39And I wouldn't even blame you if you hit me for such stupidity.
00:29:41Look, I said it's fine.
00:29:42Don't worry about it.
00:29:43Guy isn't safe anywhere.
00:29:44And I wouldn't take that knife to the police if I were you.
00:29:48It's a knife, isn't it?
00:29:49A grace for a baron.
00:29:51Yes.
00:29:52A favorite attack weapon in this part of the world.
00:29:55Will you help me up and walk me to that bench on there?
00:30:00Why should I?
00:30:02Because Miguel said that you not only had a sense of humor, but you're kind and generous.
00:30:16And that bundle, if you don't mind.
00:30:21I had a feeling you wouldn't be able to last till morning to take this to Miguel.
00:30:25You're quite an actor.
00:30:27So were you, while you were talking to Calderon last night.
00:30:30I don't remember seeing you.
00:30:32I didn't want you to.
00:30:33My job is not only to relay information, but also to stay as close as possible to you without arousing
00:30:39suspicion.
00:30:41Oh yes, I know I don't present a very capable picture at the moment.
00:30:46Well, the bundle you're carrying.
00:30:50It's modern science's contribution to my lack of parts.
00:30:55You'd be surprised how well I can move when I'm wearing it.
00:30:58Like half an hour ago when I pulled your victim across the street.
00:31:02Obviously a suicide.
00:31:05Suicide?
00:31:06Three bullet holes in him?
00:31:08Of course.
00:31:10Tell me.
00:31:11You carry a gun?
00:31:13Uh-huh.
00:31:14Then why didn't you use it when our friend paid me a visit?
00:31:17I regret that I didn't see him until he was on your balcony.
00:31:20Well, fortunately, you were better prepared than I.
00:31:22But I promise to be more alert next time.
00:31:26That's very consoling.
00:31:28Leave the baron with me.
00:31:30However, I doubt if we'll find more than a few smudge fingerprints on it.
00:31:35What I'm more interested in is finding out if...
00:31:37If your visitor had connection with Calderon.
00:31:40That's right.
00:31:41You'll hear from me.
00:31:42By the way, my name is Herrera.
00:31:45Now give me some more money and bite me on the shoulders and patetically.
00:31:49I still think you're an expensive proposition.
00:31:51You know that, don't you?
00:31:52How's that, huh?
00:31:55I've never seen such generosity.
00:31:56Bless you.
00:31:58Aren't you forgetting something?
00:32:00Oh.
00:32:02Thanks.
00:32:03I think you'd look more peculiar with three than I do with one.
00:32:36Good evening.
00:32:38Please get in.
00:32:41Yes, you.
00:32:43Doesn't anybody sleep around here?
00:33:00Mr.

00:34:32She's not kidding.
00:34:40Sylvia, wait!
00:34:49She set you up for that one and you fell for it.
00:34:53How?
00:34:56Whatever made you think she could change that fast?
00:34:58Your ego, that's what.
00:35:02You overactive schoolboy.
00:35:06Knotted.
00:35:08Claude.
00:35:42I don't believe it.
00:35:46I still don't believe it.
00:35:50But there you are.
00:36:37Oh, my God.
00:36:58THE END
00:37:21Are you positive she used to work in the club?
00:37:24I was even talking to her the night before last.
00:37:27Was she there last night?
00:37:28I imagine so.
00:37:32Why? You did not see her?
00:37:33I didn't make it to the club.
00:37:35Why not?
00:37:37I was busy. I was out in the country, just on the other side of the city.
00:37:41Adam, is something the matter?
00:37:44There's something you're not telling me?
00:37:46No, there's nothing the matter. It's just that I'm nervous about coming here.
00:37:49It's still too soon to start taking chances.
00:37:51It's not too soon for her.
00:37:54Yes, I'm sorry. I wish I had followed my instincts last night.
00:37:58What do you mean?
00:38:00I was there. She came home drunk.
00:38:03I thought about seeing if I could help.
00:38:05But I didn't.
00:38:06You were there?
00:38:08Yes.
00:38:10Then you are on to something.
00:38:12Not about last night. That was pure coincidence.
00:38:18Oh, I'm sorry, Miguel. I didn't realize you had company.
00:38:22Well, what is it you wanted?
00:38:24Oh, nothing. I'll talk to you later.
00:38:31Well, I was not expecting another killing so soon.
00:38:35I know how you feel, but give me two or three more days.
00:38:38As regrettable as this is, we still don't have anything solid to go on, Miguel.
00:38:42I know, but I'm going back to the morgue to look for some more clues.
00:38:48Anything that we have missed, any clues.
00:38:51Adam, two or three more days. That's all I can afford.
00:39:17Oh, oh, I, I, um, just coming out.
00:39:23There's something I want to say to you about yesterday.
00:39:28There's something I want to say to you.
00:39:30Oh, uh, yes.
00:39:59Good evening, Mr. Calderon.
00:40:04Fascinating woman, isn't she?
00:40:06Yes, she is, Mr. Roy.
00:40:12I just thought I'd check in since I hadn't heard from you.
00:40:15Although I've got the impression you tried to get in touch with me the other night.
00:40:18No, I, I've been busy the last two days.
00:40:22You make a decision yet?
00:40:24Decision?
00:40:25On that story I want to write.
00:40:27Oh, yes, the story.
00:40:29No, I haven't.
00:40:30But I'm sure it'll be all right after we've discussed a few details.
00:40:35Good. I'm glad to hear it.
00:40:37Maybe we can start tonight.
00:40:40No.
00:40:40Not tonight.
00:40:40No, not tonight.
00:40:41I'm glad I met this year.
00:41:02I'm glad.
00:41:10Come on, come on.
00:41:11No, Mr. Rock, you mustn't.
00:41:13There can be lots of trouble.
00:41:15I'll take my chances, Elena.
00:41:19Get out of here.
00:41:22I told you once before, it is not permitted.
00:41:25I was only trying to help, fellas.
00:41:27You made me trouble the last time.
00:41:29Now you mind your business.
00:41:31Well, if that's the way you feel about it, okay.
00:41:36I think I don't like you as much as before.
00:42:07Let's see.
00:42:08But a very feminine one.
00:42:10However, no matter what you feel about Adam,
00:42:14I ask you not to do anything that can interfere.
00:42:22Sylvia?
00:42:24Yes?
00:42:25Could it be possible that you no longer feel the same way about Adam as when he first arrived?
00:42:32It's possible.
00:42:33It's possible.
00:42:34I see.
00:42:35In a way, I'm glad.
00:42:37Adam is a fine man.
00:42:40In another way,
00:42:42I hope you would consider your emotions more carefully before giving them to men who are in our kind of
00:42:48work.
00:42:48That is one reason why I never got married.
00:43:09What is?
00:43:11That I still don't understand women.
00:43:22No, Miguel, no, it's still too soon.
00:43:24But it is my responsibility to protect your life too.
00:43:29Miguel, you know as well as I do, they simply claimed that I was trespassing.
00:43:33And legally speaking, they'd be right.
00:43:36Actually, they didn't hurt me that much.
00:43:37If the truth were known, I'm more embarrassed than anything else.
00:43:40I won't wait much longer, Adam.
00:43:43You won't have to.
00:43:44Now, I'm sure we're on the right track.
00:43:45But all we have right now is strong suspicions.
00:43:48Unless, of course, you've found proof to tie Calderon in with the hotel room attack and Teresa's murder.
00:43:54Have you?
00:43:55No.
00:43:56Okay, then let's stick with the original plan.
00:43:59Now, what have you found out about Calderon and the woman Serena?
00:44:03All we know here is that they arrived about two years ago with Peruvian passports and have taken out citizenship
00:44:10papers.
00:44:11They had enough money to buy the club and made it a success.
00:44:15We have no idea where either their money or where they came from before that.
00:44:20But I have sent a wire to the police at Lima for more details.
00:44:45When the first day became a commissioner I'll go with him, to commercialize the騎tes.
00:44:48There were the hunters, there were no steal-and-moorkinders.
00:44:50So let's × ×”ÃœOKS To all of the multit minion roommates work.
00:44:56Oh, my God.
00:46:17Get back to the bar.
00:46:18Go on.
00:46:27I see that our easygoing writer also has a temper.
00:46:30Not really.
00:46:30What's the trouble?
00:46:31I'm afraid Moreno's getting a bit overzealous again.
00:46:35Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry for the interruption.
00:46:40The dance will resume in just a moment.
00:46:42Perhaps there's something we can do over there.
00:46:48I'm sorry about interrupting your dance, ma'am.
00:46:51Please accept our apologies.
00:46:53It's just that Moreno is loyal and Mr. Calderon was angry with him for letting you up to the office
00:46:57that first time.
00:46:59Believe me, we'll be more than happy to help you with your story.
00:47:02Oh, he told you about it.
00:47:03Yes, it sounds very interesting.
00:47:05I'm glad to hear that from you.
00:47:07Is he watching us?
00:47:09No.
00:47:11Calderon.
00:47:12No.
00:47:13He's talking to some men over there.
00:47:15Please.
00:47:27No matter what he may have told you, please believe nothing until I've had a chance to talk to you
00:47:31privately.
00:47:33I'll be here tomorrow night at nine.
00:47:35I'll find you.
00:47:37He's to be out of the club on business.
00:47:40Will you do it?
00:47:42Gladly.
00:47:43And I warn you, for your sake as well as my own, please say nothing of this to him.
00:47:48He's charming.
00:47:50But he can also be strange and violent.
00:47:53Will you trust me?
00:47:55Yes, I'll trust you.
00:47:58I need a friend very badly now.
00:48:01And I don't think fate could have brought me a better one than you.
00:48:05I won't let you down.
00:48:07Now I must leave.
00:48:09Good night.
00:48:36Good night.
00:49:02Sorry, but you were very impulsive.
00:49:05Besides, it's not nice to hit a cripple.
00:49:13Herrera, would you mind telling me how you did that?
00:49:16Oh, just an old-fashioned hit throw.
00:49:18Oh, well, what's up?
00:49:21Or did you just drop by to give me a judo lesson?
00:49:24I was coming to your hotel.
00:49:26This afternoon, I went to the hotel,
00:49:26and the parents of a young woman named Elena Munoz reported her missing.
00:49:31They returned from a trip late last night
00:49:32and found her room had been torn apart.
00:49:35I was in a violent fight, but there was no blood.
00:49:39Elena Munoz.
00:49:40She works in the wire club.
00:49:43Of course.
00:49:44That was the girl who tried to keep me from going into Calderon's room.
00:49:48Was she in the club tonight?
00:49:49I didn't see her.
00:49:50Well, Miguel called me and said to tell you right away.
00:49:53He also said that if the body is found,
00:49:55he's going to move in on Calderon no matter where we stand.
00:49:58I don't blame him, but tell him this.
00:50:01I spoke to the dancer Serena tonight.
00:50:03She seemed a little upset about something.
00:50:05She wants to talk to me tomorrow night after Calderon leaves the club.
00:50:09Now, I don't know what she's up to,
00:50:11but I think it's worthwhile looking into.
00:50:13We can't afford to jump a gun.
00:50:15We don't have enough evidence.
00:50:16But I want to give this guy enough rope to hang himself.
00:50:19Ben, you're convinced he's the one.
00:50:21In the meantime, him wait for a telephone call tomorrow night.
00:50:23And when it comes to move and move fast.
00:50:26All right.
00:50:27And remember to be careful.
00:50:29How can I ever thank you for that advice?
00:50:34Oh, did you say there was a hip throw?
00:50:36Uh-huh.
00:50:59Oh, no, wife, not this time.
00:51:12Are you all right?
00:51:15I think so.
00:51:18Just, just a little embarrassed.
00:51:21You're embarrassed.
00:51:23Are you sure you're all right?
00:51:24I didn't hurt you.
00:51:26No.
00:51:28And it's reassuring to know that you can take care of yourself.
00:51:31I'm great with women, but you should see me with one-legged men.
00:51:36What are you doing here, anyway?
00:51:37I thought I told you I didn't want you getting into any dangerous situations.
00:51:41And you never know what can come flying through that window.
00:51:43Well, I'm sorry.
00:51:45It's just that I was so worried about you, I had to make sure you were all right.
00:51:48Okay, you see I'm all right?
00:51:50Now get going.
00:51:51No, I had another reason for coming.
00:51:54Miguel just received word from his office.
00:51:57The report from the police at Lima stated that Calderon fled the country
00:52:01after he was implicated in the death of a plantation owner
00:52:04from whose factory some young women had disappeared over a period of two years.
00:52:09What about the woman?
00:52:10Her name is Serena Brioso.
00:52:12She's been known to have lived with him for two or three years.
00:52:15Anything else?
00:52:16No, that's all.
00:52:18Oh, yes.
00:52:19Miguel tried to contact Herrera right away, but he couldn't find him.
00:52:22That's probably because he was with me.
00:52:25By the way, does Miguel know you're here tonight?
00:52:28Well, I didn't have a chance to tell him.
00:52:31Great.
00:52:32Okay.
00:52:32Out.
00:52:33Wait.
00:52:35Since you're so worried about what can come in through that door,
00:52:40well, the only thing that can come in now is moonlight.
00:53:09I say, old man, could I interest you in a team sweater
00:53:11with the number of your local mafia chapter embroidered on the front?
00:53:17No.
00:53:20Well, then how about a slightly used but official Sherlock Holmes decoding rail?
00:53:26No, I guess not.
00:53:30Well, happy hunting.
00:53:31Thank you for today.
00:53:35Oh, my God.
00:54:07I'm glad you came.
00:54:09I'm always interested in a good story, ma'am.
00:54:11My life is in danger and so is yours.
00:54:14Isn't that a bit dramatic?
00:54:16You don't know.
00:54:18Calderon is a maniac and he'll kill to protect his secret.
00:54:22Look, all I wanted was a simple story.
00:54:24I know.
00:54:26But you can still help me and now you must help yourself too, whether you want to or not.
00:54:31What do you mean by that?
00:54:32I can't tell you anymore now.
00:54:35Calderon has all his men watch and record everything.
00:54:38I must dance tonight in the usual way.
00:54:40But his plans have been changed and he's to be out of the club until tomorrow.
00:54:44Can you meet me tonight, an hour after closing?
00:54:48Louisa, come here.
00:54:50While you're having a drink, one of the hostesses can make your evening more pleasant.
00:54:54But don't stay too long.
00:54:56That will create suspicion too.
00:55:04Louisa, this is Mr. Rourke.
00:55:06Good evening, Mr. Rourke.
00:55:09Uh, good evening.
00:55:12Well, I can see Mr. Rourke is impressed with you already.
00:55:17That should make the evening enjoyable for you both.
00:55:21Please remember what I did.
00:55:22Good night.
00:55:27What are you doing here?
00:55:28I told you I wanted to help.
00:55:29And I told you that if you...
00:55:31I know what you told me.
00:55:34Sir.
00:55:37The extra pair of eyes isn't going to hurt.
00:55:40Besides, there are two of Miguel's men who are also here watching me.
00:55:44So please don't worry.
00:55:46Where are they?
00:55:47They're out there.
00:55:48And there being a great deal more subtle about it than you are right now, sir.
00:55:53I don't want you here after tonight.
00:55:55Do you understand that?
00:55:56Yes, sir.
00:55:57Now that you're here, you didn't happen to notice anything peculiar about Calderon, did you?
00:56:03Well, I only met him for a few minutes this afternoon.
00:56:06He hasn't been around at all tonight.
00:56:11Maybe it's just my feminine curiosity.
00:56:13But have you taken a look at those armbands Serena wears?
00:56:17Yes, sir.
00:56:17Not really.
00:56:18I've never seen anything like it before.
00:56:21Except once in a London museum when I was studying design there.
00:56:26I think they're...
00:56:28Aztec or perhaps Inca.
00:56:30And very old.
00:56:31Well, she's from South America.
00:56:33She could have bought them down there.
00:56:35Yes.
00:56:35But if they're genuine, they would have cost a great deal of money.
00:56:39It might be worth looking into.
00:56:41Good idea.
00:56:42And now, sir, I'll get you a drink.
00:56:46Would something with rub, please, you?
00:56:48Yes, something with rub.
00:56:51Thank you, sir.
00:56:58Ah!
00:57:01Ah!
00:57:04Ah!
00:57:05Ah!
00:57:06Ah!
00:57:07Ah!
00:57:07Ah!
00:57:07Ah!
00:57:07Ah!
00:57:09Ah!
00:57:10Ah!
00:57:11Ah!
00:57:17Ah!
00:57:18Ah!
00:57:19Ah!
00:57:30THE END
00:57:58THE END
00:58:34You see, there is nothing to fear
00:58:58Don't worry
00:59:01We won't be caught
00:59:03We were stupid to leave the other bodies
00:59:05Where they could be found
00:59:07From now on, we will bury them here
00:59:10I will take care of the American writer tonight
00:59:15Afterward, there will be no question
00:59:16No trace
00:59:17No trace
00:59:17No trace
00:59:44No trace
00:59:58Thank you for waiting
00:59:59My pleasure, Serena
01:00:01May I offer you a drink?
01:00:03Let me do that
01:00:04What would you like?
01:00:05The same as you, my cautious detective
01:00:09Of course I knew
01:00:10But knowing just makes me feel more relaxed
01:00:13Safe in your presence
01:00:14Away from the city
01:00:15And Caldera
01:00:17Well, here's to a very beautiful
01:00:18And a very perceptive lady
01:00:20Now, perhaps if you told me
01:00:21What was on your mind
01:00:22We can make you even more secure
01:00:23And relaxed
01:00:24And do something about it
01:00:26Yes, but it's such a beautiful night out
01:00:27Couldn't we enjoy some of it
01:00:29While we talk
01:00:42I don't suppose you've ever lived with a maniac, have you?
01:00:46No, not lately
01:00:47You must help me and it must be done quickly
01:00:50That's why I'm here, Serena
01:00:54I met Calderon in South America
01:00:55Where he was a wealthy plantation owner
01:00:59He courted me
01:01:01Bought me expensive presents
01:01:04He took me on weekend trips
01:01:05To beautiful, romantic places
01:01:09After I'd been living with him for a few months
01:01:11I found he was married
01:01:13He said he would kill me if I ever left him
01:01:17When his wife found out about us
01:01:19And threatened to divorce him
01:01:20He killed her
01:01:23Oh, he did it very cleverly
01:01:26And they never found the body
01:01:27Just evidence of suicide
01:01:31After playing the role of bereaved husband for a while
01:01:34He sold the plantation
01:01:36And brought me here
01:01:37Where he forces me to dance in his club
01:01:39And what about Maria Cortez?
01:01:41Yes, he did it
01:01:44That wasn't very clever, was it?
01:01:46The way he left her body
01:01:47He was having an affair with her
01:01:48And when she told him she was going to be married
01:01:52He became some kind of fiend
01:01:56And I suppose you know about
01:01:59Teresa's murder?
01:02:00Yes, I know
01:02:02Why couldn't you have gone to the police
01:02:04As easily as you came to me?
01:02:07Because they have been
01:02:08More stupid than you
01:02:12And that new girl at the club
01:02:15The one you obviously know very well
01:02:18Wouldn't you be interested to know
01:02:20What could happen to her
01:02:21In all your cleverness
01:02:23You forgot to consider the possibility
01:02:26That I have an immunity
01:02:27To the drug I put in all the bottles
01:02:55To the drug I put on the cuent while
01:02:58Then you'd love to have happened
01:03:05And you'd love to have happened
01:03:05We out and have discussed
01:03:06Into my gut
01:03:06And that MSC
01:03:06What could happen to him
01:03:08Eller
01:03:12As soon as Tenemos
01:03:12That nth
01:03:13Of We could have
01:03:14To a cui
01:03:14We could have
01:03:15To theico
01:03:15Looser
01:03:15To
01:03:16To
01:03:16To
01:03:16And
01:03:17We could have
01:04:52Help!
01:04:53Help!
01:04:55Help!
01:05:15So that's how you did it.
01:05:17Not me, but a loyal servant.
01:05:21In the ancient culture of my people, not my ancestors, my people,
01:05:27a form of human sacrifice was made to appease the sun god.
01:05:30But your historians have been inaccurate in recording the reason why.
01:05:35One was for a form of criminal punishment,
01:05:37similar to the method used in your present society.
01:05:41But the other, that had to do with the true meaning of prolonged life.
01:05:47And what could be more simple and effective than life's blood taken from one woman
01:05:52to sustain the beauty of another?
01:05:54A combination of that blood, electrical energy from the sun,
01:05:59harnessed in a small container,
01:06:00and a powdered ground from the roots of trees that lived to be hundreds of years old.
01:06:05That is what gives continually renewed life to those of us that were chosen as golden goddesses.
01:06:11But to ensure that we would never be subject to the damaging effects
01:06:15of a normal life, short span blood was first drained from our bodies.
01:06:22And any person that dared interfere would seem to be a criminal.
01:06:27And you have dared.
01:06:45a trauma for this man who killed our bodies.
01:06:48I'm Antonio Munoz, Lena's father.
01:06:51I wanted to help the policeman in my own way,
01:06:53but I am not very good at following people.
01:06:57You did all right, let's go.
01:06:59Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:07:29Hey, in there, open up, anybody home?
01:07:39What?
01:07:40Can I use your phone?
01:07:43Why?
01:07:44There's a killer loose, a homicidal maniac with delusions of ancient history.
01:07:47Now, can I use your phone?
01:07:49No, you're right in there.
01:07:51Thanks.
01:07:52Thanks, son.
01:07:54He breaks in and ruins a man's slip.
01:07:57Better he should steal my blood.
01:08:21No, break it in.
01:08:28You.
01:08:28Inside.
01:08:29The rest of you, another building.
01:08:31Quickly.
01:08:39Wait a minute.
01:08:40Why?
01:08:40This way.
01:08:41This way.
01:08:42The strings are falling.
01:08:44I know not.
01:08:52The strings are falling.
01:08:58It's on the line.
01:09:00Oh, I know not.
01:09:06This way.
01:09:06This way.
01:09:06This way.
01:09:07The strings are falling.

01:12:23Well, Adam, no more words except that you will always be welcome.
01:12:28Thank you, Miguel.
01:12:29Before you leave, I have a gift for you.
01:12:32Oh.
01:12:32I wonder where he is.
01:12:35Ah.
01:12:38Sorry I am late.
01:12:39Here he is. I hope you like him.
01:12:42Harvey?
01:12:44But I thought I had him in here.
01:12:46Adam, our last piece of undercover work.
01:12:50Since you took so much punishment while you were here, we thought that one of you should return in good
01:12:54shape.
01:12:55So that you would not think of us as being inhospitable.
01:12:58Oh, never inhospitable, but sometimes slightly arcove.
01:13:03Rare I'll buy you a pack of cigarettes.
01:13:05But I smoke cigars.
01:13:06Today you smoke cigarettes.
01:13:25Will you be back soon?
01:13:27Will you be back soon?
01:13:31I've mentioned a dog.
01:13:33There we go.
01:13:34I've been a buggy.
01:13:35I'm a bummer.
01:13:35I've been a buggy.
01:13:37I've been a buggy.
01:13:37I'm a buggy.
01:13:40I've been a buggy.
